Canned drink could contain cannabis

MURFREESBORO — A Murfreesboro man may be facing drug charges after police confiscated a can of "canna punch" fruit drink Monday afternoon, according to the police report provided to The Daily News Journal.

Detective Christopher Phillips reported he pulled the suspect over at the intersection of Medical Center Parkway and Joe Knight Drive around 3 p.m. because of an expired tag, but said he smelled marijuana when he approached the driver.

The suspect, who has not been charged yet, told Phillips he had smoked a marijuana blunt to celebrate his birthday, according to the report.

Phillips said he found a can of “canna punch” in the vehicle as well, and said it was a product that “was only legal in the state of Colorado, and also that it had 100mg of THC in the liquid.” THC is the major psychoactive chemical in marijuana.

The item was seized from (the suspect) to be sent off to the TBI crime lab for testing, which could possibly lead to future drug charges, Phillips said.
